Tablet Pressing
Tablet pressing is a manufacturing process used to create solid dosage forms, such as tablets, from powdered materials. This process involves compressing the powder into a specific shape and size using a machine called a tablet press. The pressure applied during pressing helps to bind the particles together, ensuring that the tablet maintains its integrity and can be easily handled.
After pressing, the tablets may undergo additional processes like coating or packaging. The quality of the final product is crucial, as it affects the tablet's effectiveness and shelf life. Proper formulation and equipment are essential to achieve consistent results in pharmaceutical manufacturing.
